It sucks! I wont give in cause my life is so much better since I stopped being a hopeless, useless drunk. But still...its soooooo draining
It was normal for me knb. I had a few ups and downs for a while.
I'd be drinking for 20 years...it was a monumental change.
It would be a lot easier if recovery was a straight line...but just as we have bad days generally we can have bad recovery days too.
As long as you keep rejecting those thoughts and cravings things will get better.
What's your recovery plan like besides SR? I think it's important to do good things for yourself too - recovery should be enjoyed not endured, y'know?
